Rebecca Humphries, known for her role in The Crown as Margaret Thatcher’s daughter Carol, is advocating for the inclusion of education on healthy relationships in school to protect young people from domestic abuse. The 35-year-old actress emphasizes the importance of teaching teenagers about respect and trust within relationships. Rebecca’s call for this type of education comes after her own experience with her ex-boyfriend, Seann Walsh, who cheated on her with married Strictly Come Dancing star Katya Jones in 2018. Seann later acknowledged that his infidelity was a form of abuse, which inspired Rebecca to write a book titled “Why Did You Stay?” discussing their five-year relationship. In addition to her book, Rebecca has joined the charity Women’s Aid to raise awareness about the need to teach students about healthy relationships in order to prevent abuse.
Rebecca highlights the significance of teaching young people how to identify respectful and trusting qualities in relationships. By equipping them with this knowledge, they can develop healthier frameworks for relationships compared to previous generations. Reflecting on her own toxic relationship, Rebecca admitted to shrinking herself and losing confidence over time. She expressed gratitude for the Strictly scandal as it served as a turning point in her life. Rebecca thought her life would be ruined if she left her relationship, but, in reality, leaving marked the beginning of a new chapter.
Women’s Aid supports the involvement of specialized organizations with expertise in violence against women and girls to effectively address these challenging issues in schools and colleges. Rebecca has openly discussed the emotional abuse she experienced during her troubled relationship with comedian Seann. He often labeled her as “crazy” throughout their five years together. Rebecca’s breakup during the Strictly scandal followed years of emotional abuse. In the House of Commons, she spoke about gaslighting, ultimately releasing her memoir “Why Did You Stay?” to shed light on her experience.
Seann found himself at the center of the biggest scandal in Strictly history when pictures of him kissing Katya Jones emerged. Rebecca’s impassioned statement revealed that Seann had belittled her for questioning his relationship with Katya, whom he kissed on Rebecca’s birthday. Other instances of infidelity were revealed, prompting Rebecca to speak out about the gaslighting she endured. She experienced a complete transformation after leaving the relationship and acknowledged the draining and destructive nature of such dynamics. The continuous verbal attacks caused Rebecca to doubt herself, leading to self-identification as crazy and unhinged.
Rebecca also shared her struggle with PTSD symptoms after ending her relationship with Seann, recounting vivid nightmares that required therapy. Seann has since acknowledged that his behavior constituted a form of abuse, expressing remorse for his actions. He recognized his selfishness and the hurt he caused someone he cared about.
During Seann’s appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, he discussed the aftermath of the scandal, revealing the impact it had on his career. Seann experienced disappointment when a 200-person venue only had 30 attendees. He felt his career was effectively over and chose to learn to drive to avoid public transportation. The kissing scandal haunted him throughout the show, impacting his mental state.
Rebecca’s memoir openly addresses her toxic relationship and her escape from it. The official synopsis describes her as a “hopeless romantic” who realized the relationship had been toxic after the paparazzi exposed Seann’s infidelity. Forced into victimhood, Rebecca regained her power by sharing her story on social media. Her book serves as a source of guidance for other women in similar situations, answering the complex question of why she stayed with her abusive partner.
